Frontend developers will find help here if they need. The problem is binary-level backward compatibility, not source-level backward compatibility. The issue is that upgrading SANE should not break frontends silently. I'm pretty sure the sane_start() change will break not only multi-page scans but also automated scripts. There's also the possibility to use a 1.1 backend with a 1.0 libsane, aka using a 1.1 backend with a 1.0 libsane-dll. That's another variation on that same theme.
